Color of the Month - Yellow - September

Yellow reminds me of sunflowers, which, if you planted them at the beginning of summer could be towering above your head right now! My son's birthday is in September (he'll be eighteen this year...gulp). My husband is great at bringing flowers to everyone for their birthday. My son always gets sunflowers. I love that they are the last bright spot of the summer bloom cycle and they get so big and so proud...as if to say "See! Look how impressive I am!"

YELLOW - Yellow people are highly original, love novelty and challenge and are reliable friends. You are very generous, forthright and open with people. You are a perfectionist.

The Color Psychology of Yellow

• Yellow is a bright that is often described as cheery and warm.


• Yellow is also the most fatiguing to the eye due to the high amount of light that is reflected. Using yellow as a background on paper or computer monitors can lead to eyestrain or vision loss in extreme cases.


• Yellow can also create feelings of frustration and anger. While it is considered a cheerful color, people are more likely to lose their tempers in yellow rooms and babies tend to cry more in yellow rooms.


• Yellow can also increase the metabolism.


• Since yellow is the most visible color, it is also the most attention-getting color. Yellow can be used in small amount to draw notice, such as on traffic sign or advertisements.
